Conventional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays, which based their detection on the stringency or temperature of the washing buffers, have encountered difficulties to distinguish a single base pair mismatch from a perfect match. In this study, scanning potential hairpin denaturation (SPHD) has been developed to detect SNP in a sensitive and reliable manner. Combined with hairpin oligonucleotide probes, scanning surface electric potential was used to induce a dissociation of double-stranded DNA around a unique "melting potential" (Vm), and it generated a high-contrast SNP recognition signal. A 21 base pair p53 gene segment was used to test this novel method. A single nucleotide mismatch to the hairpin probes caused an average of 400-800 mV difference in melting potential against the perfect match, while the error of this assay was lower than 20 mV. Experiments demonstrated that the hairpin stem was critical to the method. The concept of scanning potential hairpin denaturation could also be used extensively in different areas of nucleotide hybridization based assays. 相似文献
Novel naphthalocyanine (Nc) nanotubes with special wall structures were fabricated by a template method using Nc molecules as building blocks. Thermal stabilization of the ordered columnar structures of the tetrakis(tert-butyl)naphthalocyanine (Ni-BNc) molecules, induced from the pi-pi interactions in the nanoscale channels of an alumina template, resulted in Nc nanotubes with walls consisting of well-ordered Nc molecular disks. Further thermal treatment of Ni-BNc at 600 degrees C produced carbonized Nc nanotubes containing ordered columnar, graphitic wall structures with the graphene disks arranged perpendicular to the tube axis. These nanotubes may be useful for extending the application of Nc molecules for nanodevice fabrication. 相似文献
The interaction of Amido black 10B (AB) with DNA in basic medium was studied in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) based on the measurements of resonance light scattering (RLS), UV–vis, CD spectra, and RLS imaging. The interaction has been proved to give a ternary complex of CTMAB–DNA–AB in Britton–Robinson buffer of pH 11.55, which exhibits strong negative Cotton effect at 233.3 nm and 642.8 nm, and strong RLS signals characterized at 469 nm. Experiments showed that the enhanced RLS intensities (ΔIRLS) against the mixture of AB and CTMAB are proportional to the concentration of fish sperm DNA (fsDNA) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), respectively over the range of 0.03–1.0 and 0.05–1.5 μg ml−1, with the limits of determination (3σ) of 7.3 ng ml−1 for fsDNA and 7.0 ng ml−1 for ctDNA. 相似文献
Four new podocarpane‐type trinorditerpenenes, (5β,10α)‐12,13‐dihydroxypodocarpa‐8,11,13‐trien‐3‐one ( 1 ), (5β,10α)‐12‐hydroxy‐13‐methoxypodocarpa‐8,11,13‐trien‐3‐one ( 2 ), (5β,10α)‐13‐hydroxy‐12‐methoxypodocarpa‐8,11,13‐trien‐3‐one ( 3 ), and (3α,5β,10α)‐13‐methoxypodocarpa‐8,11,13‐triene‐3,12‐diol ( 4 ), together with four known diterpenes, 12‐hydroxy‐13‐methylpodocarpa‐8,11,13‐trien‐3‐one ( 5 ), spruceanol ( 6 ), ent‐3α‐hydroxypimara‐8(14),15‐dien‐12‐one ( 7 ), and ent‐3β,14α‐hydroxypimara‐7,9(11),15‐triene‐12‐one ( 8 ), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Aleurites moluccana. Their structures were elucidated by means of comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including NMR and MS. Except 8 , all compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity; compound 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against Raji cells with an IC50 value of 4.24 μg/ml. 相似文献
The dehydration of 2-picolinamide to produce 2-cyanopyridine was investigated thoroughly using silica supported potassium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst. Both large specific surface area and pore size of SiO_2 (B) contributed to the favorable catalytic performance for the synthesis of 2-CP. In addition, the yield of 2-CP showed the linear relationship with the amounts of medium basicity of the catalysts,demonstrating that medium basic sites were the active sites of silica supported potassium oxide catalysts. The catalysts were further characterized by XRD and FT-IR to clarify the active species. The results indicated the Si—O—K group produced by the reaction of K_2CO_3 with Si—OH was the active species, which was further evidenced by the adjustment of the amount of Si—OH by silylation and hydroxylation procedure. 相似文献
Since hydration forces become very strong at short range and are particularly important for determining the magnitude of the adhesion between two surfaces or interaction energy, the influences of the hydration force and elastic strain energy due to hydration-induced layering of liquid molecules close to a solid film surface on the stability of a solid film in a solid-on-liquid (SOL) nanostructure are studied in this paper. The liquid of this thin SOL structure is a kind of water solution. Since the surface forces play an important role in the structure, the total free energy change of SOL structures consists of the changes in the bulk elastic energy within the solid film, the surface energy at the solid-liquid interface and the solid-air interface, and highly nonlinear volumetric component associated with interfacial forces. The critical wavelength of one-dimensional undulation, the critical thickness of the solid film, and the critical thickness of the liquid layer are studied, and the stability regions of the solid film have been determined. Emphasis is placed on calculation of critical values, which are the basis of analyzing the stability of the very thin solid film. 相似文献
Novel linear poly(NIPA‐co‐CL) copolymers have been synthesized by radical copolymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and 2‐methylene‐1,3‐dioxepane (MDO). The structure of copolymers was confirmed by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Cross‐linked poly(NIPA‐co‐CL) hydrogels have also been prepared in toluene using N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide as cross‐linking agent. The hydrogels thus obtained exhibit good temperature response and are biodegradable in the presence of proteinase K.

C36 is computed at the SAM1 level and partially also at the HF/4-31G and B3LYP/6-31G* levels. Altogether 598 cages are generated by a topological Stone–Wales treatment. Three cages contribute by more than 10% to the high-temperature equilibrium isomeric mixture – two conventional fullerenes with D2d and C2v symmetries and a Csquasi-fullerene containing one four-membered ring. 相似文献
